Changing Keyboard to Dvorak Layout

Hi, this is Linda Lewis on behalf of Expert Village.com. Check out my website at www.keytime.com. Once you have the DVORAK lay out in the operating system and all you have to do is click on the icon to change the keys, then you might want to think about how you would change the letters on the keyboard. With a laptop instead of being able to move the keys around because they are different shapes actually, but you can purchase key labels that are transparent with the DVORAK letter being placed on the bottom right of the key. When you are not using a laptop, then you have a keyboard; this is the Qwerty Keyboard and then we have DVORAK Keyboards so that you would have two separate keyboards that you can plug into this device called a Waikkii where you plug in the Qwerty keyboard in one and the DVORAK Keyboard in the other whether it is the 200 DVORAK or the single handed DVORAK and then this goes into the keyboard part so that when a person wants to take in Qwerty, they would have an active keyboard in this and to change to the DVORAK you would still have an active keyboard. You will replace this and then just click on the icon so you would be fully working with the DVORAK.
